Online scavenger hunt promotes research

Think you’re a good detective? Now’s the time to brush up on your clue-hunting skills.

Brock University is part of an online scavenger hunt to promote research.

Every weekday this month, Research Matters will be releasing a video “clue” through its Virtual Scavenger Hunt website that in turn will take amateur sleuths to the website of one of Ontario’s 21 universities.

Student ambassadors from each of the participating universities — Brock’s are Jory Korobanik and Julia Polyck-O’Neill — will deliver daily video clues via e-mail to registered contestants whose answers can be hunted down online. Clues will also be available on the Research Matters’ website.
